meltdowns and such…

What is your parenting style? Let me know in the comments below! And join me as I share a little about where mine is headed…

The other day we went on a wonderful walk in the park…

Until… it wasn’t wonderful at all lol.

After loading our “bus” full of all the park necessities… snacks, wipes, sanitizer, snacks, diapers, bikes, helmets, scooter, snacks, a stroller, balls, etc. etc…

THEN… driving around a jam packed parking garage in search of a parking spot…

THEN… unloading everything while trying to keep the twins from jetting in front of cars while screaming “bike, bikkkkkeeeeee!!!” We were ready for our day-o-fun…

Well our youngest son had other plans…

Because he decided to skip his nap our fun day at the park lasted about 5 minutes before he was having a full-on meltdown (because we wouldn’t let him bike down a 90° hill)… and unfortunately not even the most perfect sunshine or backpack full of snacks could fix it.

If you’re new here you may not know I’m socially awkward. Like… embarrassingly awkward. So… things like this create an unnatural level of anxiety for me. He was acting like he had been abducted… and I was as well… egghhh!

Needless to say I’ll be re-focusing my attention on gentle parenting because… that showing was a hot mess. And while I know it’s a part of this stage… my flustered response was not the business so I need all the tips and tricks. Stay tuned peeps…I’ll be sure to keep you updated along the way…lol!
